Yes, I am not making this up. You can now online karaoke with your friends! The scoring is way sophisticated (did that sound ok DazzleBabe? ). You just sing along into your PC mic.

Plus, the backing music is excellent... it really sounds like the original. PLUS you can hear recordings and see grades etc of other people who have done the song of your choice. That is so funny.

All in all it's pretty damned hilarious (I got ranked 'Amateur' for Paranoid by Sabbath but 'Tone Deaf' for Back in Black by AC/DC . Strangely the wife who can genuinely wail only got 'Tone Deaf' for Journey too, so I expect she's gonna be practising!)

(I'm not good, but I've won them all so far, and now my wife claims to have never heard of Linkin Park and has challenged me to a ..... [gouge vomit from mouth] Justin Bieber song. You know she's stinging to stoop that low!)

Issit!!? Damn I like them as a band. It is a little commercialised, but I think it is a good example of a band all giving it 100%. These days I think being visually engaging is vital too, and LP get that...

I suggested them as precisely an example of that to a certain Moderator's son who fronts an SGn band. As in some respects I don't think expressing anger, hate and rage or even a consuming passion comes that naturally to Asian bands.

I mean go to a rock concert here and most people are standing there like 'Stepford people'. It's gotta be freaky for the touring band!

p.s. We went to The Prodigy for the F1 thing.... what 2 years ago. WOOF! Getting to see them in front of a tiny audience at Canning was ... phoo memorable! I had seen them, well, 15+ years earlier in Tokyo hehehe.... oh and i used to shag their manager's girlfriend's E-cup sister [sorry was that gratuitious or flagrant?]
